Any chance we could pull this off?

Is there any chance we might be able to present our birthday cards to Kerry himself, and not just to an aide? Maybe if we contact his office ahead of time, and let them know thaat there are several constituents of his among the group? Does anyone know who we could call about that? Perhaps he could spare a few minutes before or after the event on 12/11 to say a few words to a group of loyal supporters?

I have no idea if this is possible. Perhaps just wishful thinking...sigh.

1. I'd definitely suggest PMing TayTay.

She is the most connected, and lives right there in the Boston area.

2. Here's what you need to do -

You need to find Marvin and tell Marvin that you have a special Birthday for JK. Marvin will take care of you. Let him know that you are Kerry Bloggers. I'll also pass a message along.

7. Keep us posted - if anything changes let us all know.

We'll arrange to meet up and paint the town red!

8. Who's getting hotel rooms?

I just checked the airfare - it's not so bad. I still don't know if I can pull this off but I could come in Saturday and stay with a girlfriend up near the NH border Saturday night but would need to stay in town on Sunday to catch a flight out.

9. Actually, I think several are.

I already have three in my room, (with one bed) bwaa-hahaha...but I know some others on this forum are getting rooms also. Maybe start a new post asking who is doing what?

10. I've got a room that I'm sharing with Island Blue

But we could likely get a roll-away bed for a third person. When I reserved the room, I said there would likely be 3 people.

4. Ok, so how does one contact Marvin?

I have no idea. If you have an email address or phone number, could you post or pm it?

I think it might also help if we told them we had mailed these two birthday cards around the country, so that we could get the signatures of those who couldn't make it to the party.

5. When you get there ask for Marvin

It's very simple - that' his job to make sure people get to talk to JK. I'll PM you a little more info

11. How many DU JK Group Massholes are going to the 12/11 event?

If we want to make a case to Kerry's office for him to meet with us so we can present the birthday cards, it might be helpful to say how many constituents of his are in the group. The ones I know of are me, TayTay and Whome. Is Mass going? Any others you know of?

12. Ahm, I think that's it

plus LevensonK and hubby.

No one else I know of, but I might be wrong.

BTW, I would emphasize all the folks coming from long distances. That is an amazing story.
